I know I’m being flippant in this thread but I honestly don’t understand what’s going on here.

Everyone climbs above their anchor on occasion, the real danger is not the drop but the swing into whatever awaits you as you spiral uncontrollably on your line.

The fact that you have to say that  , and an unfortunate few people didnt listen - is why we are here talking abt shock loaded ropes   K

Having had a couple of Stellas this evening I am going to have to do risk assessment and method statement on how I am going to mitigate any risks  that might arise when I eventually get off this sofa ...

I think this is based on the OP wanting to use some fall arrest gear whilst climbing and his company saying no so he wants some info to fight his case

@ANK had posted up in the 2 rope consultation thread about the petzl asap no longer being allowed at work and since then has been asking about forces and anchor strengths etc so I just put 2 and 2 together. May be wrong though!
